I have 12 young hens, about 4 months old, all females for eggs. I decided they needed a Rooster to look after them for when the time comes to let them out of the pen to roam.
I found a rooster of a similar age to my hens and put him in with them. They attacked him big time. He's been in 2 days now, they won't let him eat or drink, immediately he comes out the box for food or water they chase him round and attack him.
Should I separate him into his own run until he is bigger and older ??????
Thanks.
